Comment(by ln5):

 Replying to [comment:7 nickm]:
 >   What happens if the client lists both the v4 and the v6 address for a
 bridge?

 Last handled bridge wins, i.e. it depends on the order of Bridge
 lines.

 Is this is good enough for now or should we simply drop one of them?

 If so, which one?  rransom suggested dropping the IPv4 address based
 on the situation in China.  I think that falling back to old client
 behaviour, i.e. IPv4, might be the least surprising thing to do
 though.
